Hello Dear Wisdom, Few days ago I sent an e-mail about who was doing Swank Digital campus. I was asked if I could do a summary of all the replies. My issue was I would like to do Swank but have the films in our catalog and not just in blackboard or any other course management. Off the replies I

Criterion most definitely could not license most of their titles in perpetuity because I believe most of their collection is under contract from major studios who would simply never agree to it.

Thank you, Elizabeth for this clarity. I had been told the same thing from Criterion, in Canada. However, many of the distributors who have digital rights do not uphold this belief. They tell us that they cannot license beyond their agreement with the rights' holder. I've often brought up the

I am not sure if we are talking about the same kind of film, but fiction feature films are nearly always licensed from large companies or sales agents that represent them and you definitely may not license them to anyone beyond the term of your contract without their agreement. I imagine if you wo

For clarity, unless a contract between a filmmaker and a distributor specifies that the distributor may not grant licenses that extend beyond the original Term of the contract, a distributor may license a film for any given period of time during the original license period. For example, if

As a practical matter Swank really can't license for more than one academic year. This is what I have been trying to explain re studio product. I think is is very unlikely they will ever allow Swank, Criterion Pictures ( Fox films) or even themselves to license for more than a year. Anything is pos

Hi all, I think we're about to license our first streaming film through Swank Digital Campus. The usage scenario is so different from what I normally deal with. Typically, my library licenses individual films from distributers for use by all current student & faculty, for a term ranging from
